Bottle from trade with Kevin. Pours black with beige head that disappears fairly quickly. Loads of vanilla, borderline skin lotion aroma with some cocoa, light coconut and also a bit of ash. Taste is rich with vanilla, chocolate, light booze and well integrated barrel tones. Dangerously drinkable. Good stuff!

Taster showing pitch black center with sparse latte colored foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of vanilla with light roasted malt. The palate is oily and thick with light carbonation. Vanilla forward with a strong roasted dark malt base and light flavors of toffee and marshmallow followed by a mild coffee bitterness. Light alcoholic spiciness.
